Does this mean you don't have any of your own named folders, no automated sorting filters as you can "sort them and search for specific ones" yourself? You keep all messages in the inbox? I tested to search for messages that came in after yesterday and while finding 206 messages out of like 75 000 took only 18 seconds in PM 4.2 (great stuff of course), opening the Recent Mail Window took a mere 3 seconds on my Powerbook G3. That could be one reason I feeel as I do. Of course, if CTM could make *searches* saveable under a name and have them run whenever we'd like, then your approach could be very useful, so your general method with searching is not without merit of course. but as you know it's not working like that today. >I don't see the point of needing the mail retained in recent messages. Check my other post for a couple of points. To test your expressed viewpoint: would you prefer that CTM Dev impose a "recent" standard upon the user so that messages be removed automatically after a set timeframe in order to keep the RMW truly "recent"? Perhaps even between mail checks, Giving users that check mail every 2 minutes a very "truly recent" Recent Mail Window indeed. But perhaps that wasn't the objective, but real usefulness was.
